Red Flag

They say that natural compensates for what we lack. Men are stronger than women does this mean that nature made us smarter?

If we are smarter why do we allow men to play us the way we do? Could it be all the sweet nothings that we are spoon feed as children? The fairy tales that tell us that we are going to live happily ever after? Or has nature made the instinct to create a family stronger than any other.

I know I have turned my eyes away a few times when a man did something that was totally out in left field. I said, well no ones perfect. What I learned from this is no there are no perfect people in the world however, some things go right to the root of a persons character. Not picking up your socks is not a character flaw. But if a person stretches the truth a lot and is really good at it, you might want to pay a little more attention.

I once invited a guy that I had recently met to a dinner party I was having. The evening started out really well but as the night went on this guy began to tell more and more incredible stories. First he told us that he went to St Johns University and was a star basketball player there. While at St Johns he used to shave points. This I don’t know much about but the men at the table explained to me what it was. For you ladies that don’t know ask your husbands. Any way this guy said that he was shaving points to the point that he made so much money that he used to travel to school by limo. Then he told us that he was Diana Ross’s bodyguard. Then he started to say that he worked for Full Force and Lisa Lisa and Cult Jam. These people I know so I asked when he worked for them, he changed the subject to him moving to Europe. He said he played basketball over there because the pay was so much more. Before he finished this long list of tales he said he was going to be leaving for South America soon; he has a contract to play ball down there. Although, very entertaining, I could tell that this guy liked to stretch the truth.

I took this as a red flag and did not date him. How many red flags have you ignored and why?
